feature: the latest from australia based photographer niels holswen’s ongoing photo project, ‘the way (who are you) project 0.16’

Check out the new editorial from photographer and DJ Niels Holswen, featuring model Bruna Teixeira Pimentel – part of Holswen’s ongoing photography project with black models around the world, ‘THE WAY (Who Are You) PROJECT 0.16’. The photographer (who is based in Sydney, Australia) tells us: “Nowadays media pushes society to focus only on the physical appearance of a woman. It ignores her true being, her personality and inner feelings. ‘The WAY Project 0.16’ aims at restoring the Natural Woman, the Woman everybody knows, as a friend, as a wife, as a neighbour… The Woman that it is not highlighted nowadays. ‘The WAY Project 0.16’ is part of a worldwide and visual revolution against fashion standards. It resorts to non-professional models and minimal make up (Nude effect). Each photograph has a non-verbal message: the woman’s personality and feelings. By voluntarily offering professional skills of an experienced photograph (TFP), ‘The WAY Project 0.16’ encourages self-expression, boost of self- esteem, and development of creativity of each participant.” Explore below, and CLICK HERE to support this project via GoFundMe.
